radiator question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was in a hurry when replacing my '66 Suburban radiator... did not look carefully. Wonder if the u-shaped holding brackets underneath the radiator have bolt attachments to the rail that supports them ??

I used a full-size Pontiac radiator in place of the original radiator for a 305V6. It's a fine fit... almost !

The driver's side u-bracket is soooooo close to the new lower water outlet that the hose clamp has trouble sliding over the hose.
If I could move that bracket juuusssst a bit closer towards the middle... it would be beautiful.

Opinions and input, please.
Thanks-
